RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - AFRetired_imp - 11-07-2016
Got mine on last week, Soaking in hot (microwaved) water for a few minutes and WD40 on the bar ends. Used a dry towel to grip the RLET with. First one went on in 10 sec. The second one took 30 min of wiggling, re-heating, re-WD40, repeat repeat repeat. Finally slipped on.

And Ferret will show you the secret handshake at the next rally. But you can NEVER show Redbirds, the Dark Lord.

Alchohol would be the best lubricant as it leaves no residue. I'll try that when mine come winging in.

10 SECONDS!! Ferret, we need to have an RLET-off. Gauntlet thrown.

Windex. Learned it from an old Greek wise man.

I think the alcohol was for him. I just sprayed WD-40 in mine. As long as you keep the outside dry and easy to grip, they can pop on easily.

My mistake. Thought this forum was to assist and not ridicule other cb1100 riders. Speaks volumes.

SEriously? Oh c'mon, we have a lot of fun with RLETs. Maybe you hadn't noticed that? This is a 72 page thread about 2 little rubber covers for a lever ball end. There is no one perfect way to put them on, but lots and lots of advice in this thread. Nobody was trying to ridicule anybody.
However, if you were actually offended I apologize.
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - 4 Paws_imp - 11-07-2016
Whoa! Isn't it dangerous to mix RLET's and alcohol? They might end up multiplying like rabbits and then everyone would have them.
RE: Rubber Lever End Thingies - emptysea - 11-07-2016
1. apply alcohol to RLETs
2. tell them "it will only hurt for a second"
